Chapter 269: Sword Qi and Vast Forest (First Update)

This sword light was so huge that it tore through the sky, making people feel that they could not resist it at all and might as well just give up. In the blink of an eye, the sword light was about to reach him, two or three times faster than Shi Xuan's sword energy and thunder sound. Even the surrounding space was locked by the sword light, making it impossible for Shi Xuan to escape.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan had passed the sword test of the great immortal in the Sword Discussion Hall, and was not affected by Li Huaiyuan's sword light at all. He gathered his thoughts and felt calm.

In this life-and-death moment, Shi Xuan had nothing to hide. He used the ninth-level Taoist Qingyu Leiyi, and a Taoist robe that seemed to be condensed and concentrated by infinite green lightning appeared on his body, blocking the mighty sword light.

After the sword light and the green light Taoist robe collided, countless fragmented sword energy, lightning, and firelight bloomed around like fireworks, which looked like a beautiful picture from afar.

Although the Jade Thunder Robe blocked Li Huaiyuan's Sun-piercing Sword, Shi Xuan was still knocked back and had no power to fight back. Then he was caught up by the White Rainbow, who slashed him with another sword, and once again burst out white sword energy, green lightning, and red sparks.

Shi Xuan's exquisite swordsmanship, various Taoist arts, Tai Chi diagram, and Yin-Yang Qi Bottle were useless under the suppression of Li Huaiyuan's three-level perfect natal spiritual weapon Sun-piercing Sword. It was a way of using force to defeat cleverness and using momentum to suppress others.

At this time, the sword lights of Xie Xiaoan and the other six soul cultivators flew to Shi Xuan's side, but the ninth-level Taoist arts were not easy to deal with. Even if he took on ten more Sun-piercing Swords, there would be no problem. So these seven sword lights were like tickling Shi Xuan and had no effect.

Shi Xuan had experienced the test of life and death when he was advancing to the soul. In addition, he was a decisive person. He knew that even if he got rid of Li Huaiyuan and others temporarily, he would not have the speed advantage and would soon be caught up. He would die on the spot after exhausting the secret treasure talisman. In addition, the Sun-piercing Sword could lock the space, making it impossible for him to use the large and small teleportation skills. Therefore, when he used the Green Jade Thunder Cloth to block the Sun-piercing Sword and the other seven sword lights, he did not hesitate to activate the star-like external pill and detonate it beside the Sun-piercing Sword outside the Green Jade Thunder Cloth.

As for why he did not mobilize 30% of the power of the external pill at once to get rid of the interference of space, it was because the Sun-piercing Sword was extremely fast. If it was not severely damaged, it was very likely that Shi Xuan had not finished performing the teleportation skill, and the sword light would have come again and locked the space again.

Li Huaiyuan was just in a moment of sword energy and wanton joy. Unexpectedly, a bead emitting brilliant starlight appeared beside Shi Xuan. Suddenly, a sense of terror and danger emerged in his heart. Before he could turn his mind and let the Sun-piercing Sword fly back, the bead suddenly exploded.

In the endless void, stars seemed to appear, emitting bright and dazzling starlight, then the starlight shrank, the stars collapsed, and finally condensed into a point.

"No!" Li Huaiyuan roared in horror, blood gushed out of his mouth, and the whole person became weak. In addition, Xie Xiaoan and the other six soul-stage cultivators also looked pale. Their own natal flying swords were also beside Shi Xuan. Although they did not directly bear the power of the external pill's self-explosion, the aftermath alone made their natal magic weapons overwhelmed.

Shi Xuan was not feeling well at this time. The power of the inner pill explosion of the Star Iron Beast was really amazing. Even if he had a ninth-level Taoist magic to protect his body, he suffered a lot. Even the green jade thunder clothes became very dim, as if they would disappear in the next moment.

Without further ado, Shi Xuan did not dare to wait for Li Huaiyuan to catch his breath and use his Taoist magic, talismans, or secret treasures. He immediately took out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and fanned it in the direction of Biluo Mountain. A black crack appeared in the void, and then Shi Xuan stepped in and disappeared without a trace.

"Asshole." Li Huaiyuan had just recovered when he saw Shi Xuan disappear. Even if his natal flying sword was severely damaged, he had several fifth-level and almost sixth-level Taoist magics, so it was easy to take down Shi Xuan. He did not expect Shi Xuan's escape method to be so powerful that he could actually move over a long distance.

Li Huaiyuan's spiritual consciousness expanded. When he reached the Jindan stage, his spiritual consciousness could already cover a thousand miles. Especially for an old master like Li Huaiyuan, he could feel things two or three thousand miles away clearly. No matter how powerful your long-distance space movement is, it is impossible to exceed four thousand miles.

But Li Huaiyuan felt dizzy and blood kept flowing out of his mouth and ears. He couldn't open his spiritual consciousness at all. He said bitterly: "This kid got a bargain." With a wave of his hand, the Guanri Sword flew back. The Guanri Sword, which was originally nine inches long and covered with white light, was now reduced to more than three inches long. The white light completely disappeared, revealing the white sword body.

Li Huaiyuan looked at the Guanri Sword with heartache and put it into his Dantian. This life spirit weapon was really badly damaged. It could not be used again without a decade or two of recuperation. Li Huaiyuan himself was also seriously injured, and his strength dropped by 80%. You should know that Li Huaiyuan's Taoism was not even at the sixth level. Only this three-level perfect life flying sword was equivalent to the eighth-level Taoism.

Just now, I really shouldn't have thought of trying my best to kill Shi Xuan with Taoism. Li Huaiyuan regretted it.

Xie Xiaoan and the other six Soul-level cultivators also took back their own flying swords, secretly rejoicing in their hearts. Although the aftermath just now also caused their own flying swords to be severely damaged and could not be used again without seven or eight days of warming up, it was fortunately the aftermath, otherwise the flying swords would have turned into ashes.

"I didn't expect that he actually had a demon beast inner pill in his hand, and he didn't know how to cherish it and practiced it into an outer pill. It would be fine if he practiced it into an outer pill, but he was willing to explode it!" A Soul-level cultivator said indignantly. If he had a demon beast inner pill, how could he waste it like this? !

Hearing this, Li Huaiyuan showed a thoughtful expression on his face: "The breath of the external pill just now is very familiar. Wait, it should be the breath of the Grandmaster Xingzhao that the Loose Cultivator Alliance wants to hunt down. Hehe, I didn't expect Xingzhao to be Shixuan, and Shixuan is Xingzhao. When we meet up with the Loose Cultivator Alliance in a few days, I will sell this news to them and let them kill Shixuan in this cave."

"But second brother, the Loose Cultivator Alliance will arrive in a few days, and they have to go to Lingjian Peak first. Shixuan should have left the cave long ago, so why would he stay here and wait for them to kill him." Although Xie Xiaoan was panicking, he didn't think this was a good idea. "By the way, from what you said, second brother, you are still planning to go to Lingjian Peak?" The implication is that your strength is only one tenth of what it used to be, so why bother to wade into that muddy water again.

Li Huaiyuan sighed and said, "If we don't kill Shi Xuan, we will have to scatter like birds and beasts after we get out, and hide our identities from now on. In this case, why not go to Lingjian Peak again to see if we can pick up some benefits, so that we can make some plans for the future." He no longer has the confidence that he had before, but the other soul-level cultivators who said this felt sympathetic and nodded in agreement.

"As for Shi Xuan, the external pill exploded just now. Even if he has the ninth-level Taoist magic to protect his body, he is still seriously injured. In this case, he will definitely not be able to pass through so many demons and get out of the cave. As long as we plan well, such as guarding the exit, we can wait for the rabbit." Li Huaiyuan said lightly.

The eyes of other soul-level cultivators brightened when they heard this, as if they saw hope that they would not have to hide their identities: "Second Master, why don't we go and guard the cave entrance now? We must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Li Huaiyuan hesitated, knowing that guarding the exit now was the best option, but he could not give up the hope of immortality, and was in a dilemma: "How about this, I still have several fifth-level Taoist talismans and secret treasures on me, I will give them to you, you go to guard the cave entrance, and I will go to Lingjian Peak, hoping to pick up some benefits."

After some discussion, Li Huaiyuan and two soul-level cultivators continued to go to Lingjian Peak, and Xie Xiaoan took the remaining four soul-level cultivators to the exit to guard Shixuan.

…………

This is a jungle that has been growing for who knows how many years, with towering trees, but there are only some insects in the forest, no other birds and beasts, so it seems very quiet, with only the sound of wind passing through the leaves.

Shi Xuan was indeed injured, but not as Li Huaiyuan thought. He was severely injured by the self-explosion of the external pill. He relied on his own guesses to estimate the power of the ninth-level Taoist magic, so it was inevitable that there were inaccuracies.

The green jade thunder robe completely resisted the power of the external pill's self-explosion, but when it was moved in space, its effectiveness was exhausted and disappeared completely. Therefore, Shi Xuan was attacked by the space storm generated by long-distance space transmission. Even if he used the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, the Golden Bridge on the Other Shore and the Cloud and Mist Fairy Clothes, he was still a little injured.

At this time, Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged in a secret place between several large trees to heal his wounds. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. With the help of the pill, Shi Xuan was almost healed, but his life-saving trump card was almost exhausted, and the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan could not be used again until two days later.

Shi Xuan was thinking whether to go back now or explore Biluo Mountain before going back. After all, even if he came back later, those life-saving trump cards would not appear again. In addition, it was foreseeable that the people from Shenjian Villa would guard him at the exit. If he was not as fast as them, going back now would be a trap. But where was he now and how far was he from the exit?

Shi Xuan raised his head and observed the broken continents, oceans, mountains, etc. floating in the void nearby. Suddenly he found an obvious landmark and laughed secretly. He didn't expect that he was at the back of Biluo Mountain! It was really a case of searching for something without any effort. The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was more than five thousand miles away!

You must know that the Great Teleportation Technique on the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, Shi Xuan could only grasp the direction. According to Master Jiang, the distance was nearly a thousand miles, with a unit of a thousand miles. As for whether it was a thousand miles or nine thousand miles, it all depended on one's luck, so it was easy to be teleported to a dead place or a desperate place.

Since it was so far away, I couldn't catch up with the cultivators of Shenjian Villa even if I rushed back, so I might as well explore here and wait for the cultivators of Luofu Sect to come in, and then follow them. With Qiao Mubai's righteous character, he would definitely help me.

Just when he made up his mind, Shi Xuan felt something flying towards him!
